As well as giving school-to-school support, Hope Valley College is proud that we are always striving to improve and so we actively work with other schools. As well as working with other schools in the Sheffield Teaching School Alliance, we also work with schools from Escafeld Teaching School Alliance, North East Derbyshire Teaching School Alliance, Hallam Teaching School Alliance and the Ashbourne Dove Valley Teaching School Alliance.

As a member of the Peak 11 federation of secondary schools in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales area, we work collaboratively with our nearest secondary neighbours to improve the educational opportunities for young people of the area. Our collaborative work aims to improve teaching, learning and assessment, maximise attendance and reduce exclusions.
